Ammonia has a mind of its own. Does your team know how it thinks?
Ask your team where they think ammonia will go in a leak.
That one question can reveal everything.
- Who’s guessing vs Who’s been trained
- Who understands its physiochemical behaviour
- Who has practiced the ERP procedures.
Ammonia doesn't behave like most people expect.
"Its lighter than air", so, vapour rises... until it doesn't.
Dense plumes will hug the ground... until it finds a heat source or wind.
Site conditions, humidity, temperature and airflow play a huge part
It expands rapidly.. especially when you assume it won’t.
👻 Assumptions are the most dangerous gas in the room.
